Question

3. A steamer goes downstream and covers the distance between two ports in 6 hours. While i
covers the same distance upstream in 8 hours. If the speed of stream is 2 km/hr, find the speed
of steamer in still water,
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed of streamer = 14 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of steamer = x km/hr

Let distance = y km

So,

In upstream

y=8(x-2)

In downstream

y=6(x+2)

Hence,

6(x+2)=8(x-2)

=>6x+12=8x-16

=>12+16 = 8x-6x

=>28=2x

=>14 =x

Speed of streamer = 14 km/hr
